Sometimes called a chip, microchip, or microelectronic circuit, an integrated circuit (IC) is the fundamental building block of all modern electronic devices. They’re a convenient way of cramming hundreds, thousands, millions, or even billions of electronic components onto silicon chips no bigger than a fingernail.
So, how much do you know about ICs? Find out with this quiz.
